This is exactly what is going to happen. They are going to ride Romo without developing someone to take his place. Its just how Jerry does things. They will try and find a future QB in the later rounds but that usually doesn't work out. There was a poll on one of the sports sites about whether or not Romo should be extended and over 70% voted no. I know polls are meaningless but the general NFL fan doesn't trust him at all and I'm beginning to fall in that category and I like Romo. People say this team wouldn't win 5 games without him and I really question that statement. In fact, I don't believe it at all......

You get enough chances and it can happen. He was pretty much a JAG playoff QB up until this season...and he's had a playoff level team his whole career.
Before that great three game run, he had as many ints as TDs in the postseason
Nothing special at all.

You need a larger sample size to break through sometimes. He did this year

In my mind he is middle of the pack. I have Luck, Kap, Wilson, and RG3 ahead of him based on what I saw last year.

I dont think Kap or RG3 are on Romo's level yet, just my opinion. Yes they are young and mobile and may turn out to be better eventually, they arent there yet. RG3 had pedestrian passing numbers. Morris is the one that should be getting all the attention in Washington.

Yeah, and the Colts were in the AFC south in 2011 too when they were 2-14, what changed? How about they got a HIGH quality QB that lead them to the playoffs. Not just any QB but a really good QB. First year in the league and he takes his 2-14 team to the playoffs.. let's not down play that.

The Redskins were horrible in 2011 and most of the team sucked in 2012 too. I have news for you, RG3 and the running game made that team a lot better. Half the season he didn't even have a decent WR to throw to. Garcon was always hurt and who else did he have? An over the hill 33 year old Moss? Teams had to start respecting RG3's arm and the pistol offense. They didn't know if it was him or Morris who had the ball half the time. Don't think RG3 didn't help with making Morris stand out as much as he did. Basically their only offense was RG3 and Morris and even starting 3-6 he still managed to will his team to a division win and they playoffs.

Wilson inherited a weak Seattle team and led them to the playoffs. Sure the defense played well but what changed on that team? They had a true leader at QB who had a strong will to win and was tough for opposing defenses to stop. He played a huge role in elevating his whole team.

Kap is a freaking beast. Sure, he played on a good team, but he would have at least led our team past Washington to make the playoffs. He is way more mobile than Romo and has a much better arm. He was just what San Fran needed to get them over the hump that Smith could not do.

Yes, let's completely forgo reality here.

Luck had a 76.5 QB rating. He threw 18 picks on 23 touchdowns. Compared to Romo who threw 19 picks on 28 touchdowns. Romo also threw for 600 more yards, 10% more accurate. Romo was better in every way.

Teams change year in and year out. Just because you played a better team in 2011 doesn't mean that same team is as good in 2012. The AFC South was a joke this year, as was the AFC East.

The redskins weren't horrible in 2011, they just couldn't get things done on offense. Their offense stood up a great deal this year.

Flacco outplayed Brady in the 2011 Championship Game.#NiceJag

Flacco has been knocking on the door of greatness since his rookie year.Tony Romo has failed in every big spot he's been in.

Romo doesn't have any of that.

I saw no defense being played in the Super Bowl. League doesn't want good defense, they want great offense, and this is what this league is becoming, so man up or exit stage left.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

But if you offered me Luck for Romo , I'd not hesistate to take it.

But in 2012, Romo was >> that Luck. Luck was good for a rookie though.

You are trying to focus on stats alone to decide if one QB is better than the other. It simply doesn't work that way. Some QB's are smart enough to do exactly what it takes to win and shine when they need to shine and know how to lead a team. Andrew Luck did just that his ROOKIE year. A previous 2-14 team (In a weak division) turned into a 11-5 team? Luck was by far the biggest reason for that. That guy is a winner and a leader.

The Redskins were horrible in 2011..6-10 is horrible. Were the 2010 Cowboys horrible at 6-10? Yes. You are right about their offense getting a LOT better. Why? Ya think RG3 had something to do with that? He was a tremendous leader right out of the gate that rallied his team each and every game and didn't let them give up when they were 3-6 and his team wanted to give up. Something that Romo is still trying to learn 7 years into the league. Redskins had a 27th ranked defense in 2012, so how the heck did they win the division and make the playoffs?

It's hilarious when people judge and make their minds up after seeing one season from rookies, show me consistency and then we can talk about rook Qb's.

Indeed. Rookie QB's shouldn't even be in the conversation. I wonder how many of these same people that are ranking RG3, Wilson, and Luck ahead of Romo also ranked Newton ahead of him after his rookie year. Look at him now.

Anyone who's ranking any of these rookies ahead of vets are simply basing their ranking on what they think these guys might do in the future, which is ridiculous.

He has accomplished something,he has earned the nickname TONY TURNOVER. Put him any pressure situation and you can bet there will be 1 or 2 interceptions thrown. Yeah go ahead pay him a boatload, he might get enough incentive to drive this team to a 9 win season. What a freaking joke this has become!!!!

I find it fascinating how many people still stick behind Tony Romo. Romo is better than Kap, Wilson, Luck, RG3? Romo is probably better than Wilson IMO (in this point in his career). Wilson has had the luxury of playing with a top 3 defense. Well see how RG3 responds to his knee injury as well so I will leave that out. But Kap and Luck? I agree, Luck's stats weren't earth shattering but he has already shown us he has the ability to be clutch and win games, same with Kap. Tony Romo is the most unclutch QB I've ever seen in my life. Does he suck? No. But I can't fathom how some of this fan base can see Tony Romo leading the Cowboys to an NFC Championship game and winning. I would sign him to a very friendly contract upfront with the ability to cut ties after this coming season.
